    Description: The study examined the contribution of women to fisheries in Kainji Lake Basin, Nigeria. The sample size of 80 respondents was selected through a purposive sampling in ten (10) fishing villages around Kainji Lake Basin. Instrument for data collection was semi- structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistic. The result showed that the women are mostly engaged in processing, marketing and financing. About 60 percent of the women interviewed are engaged in marketing and financing. Ten (10) percent of the respondents are engaged in financing. The low participation in financing is attributed to high amount of capital involved. It is recommended that women should be made to benefit more from rural development policies and programmes.

    Description: The proximate composition and amino acids assay of smoked Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus were determined using standard procedures. The mean proximate composition of Oreochromis niloticus are 8.9% moisture, 16.00% lipids, 5.6% ash, 44.5% crude protein, 0.42% crude fiber and 24.9% NFE while Clarias gariepinus has 8.19% moisture, 15.55% lipids, 4.725 ash, 40.46% crude protein, 0.50% crude fiber and 30.58% NFE. There is therefore a nutrient variation between the 2 species of fish Oreochromis niloticus has higher crude protein, lipids, moisture and ash content than Clarias gariepinus.The amino acids profile shows that both fishes have 17 amino acids. Apart from Tryptophan, the following essential amino acids Histidine, Methionine, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Valine and Phenylalanine are present in both fish. Oreochromis niloticus however has higher quantities of the essential amino acids except for Histidine than Clarias gariepinus

    Description: The food and feeding habits of Protopterus annectens of the River Rima and Goronyo Dam in North Western Nigeria was studied. A total of one hundred and eighteen (118) fish samples were collected from October, 2001 to September, 2002 and the stomach contents were analyzed using frequency of occurrence method. The feeding adaptation with respect to mouth and related structures, gill rakers and dentition were examined. The gut length and fish length indicated rectilinear positive relationship. The regression coefficient (b) and correlation coefficient (r) of GL TL relationships were highly significant (p〈0. 01). The main taxa of food substances found in the stomachs included substances of plant and animal origins, with overall frequency of 49. 1and 38.3% for the samples from River Rima and 27.2 and 60.3% for those from Goronyo Dam in the same order. The results of percentage occurrence of the food items in the dry season showed that animal substances in the juveniles (51.7%) and the adults (41.4%) were higher than the plant materials in the samples from the two water bodies. In the rainy season, the percentage occurrences of animal substances were higher in the adults (= 30cm) samples from Goronyo Dam than those samples from River Rima, while the same food items were absent in the juveniles (= 30cm) from the two water bodies. These feeding adaptive features indicate the roles of the species in their ecological niche and provide base line information that could be useful in satisfying their food requirement under culture condition. The diversity of food substances found in the stomach and their occurrence in the juveniles and adults varied with the water bodies and season.

    Description: The gut length to standard length ratios of twelve fish species from the Ovia and Ikpoba Rivers were calculated to work out their feeding level in the food chain. The mean ratio of five species Brycinus macrolepidotus Smith, 0.9 Parachanna obscura (Gunther), 1.0, Papyrocranus afer. Gunthel; 0.35, and Xenomystus nigri Gunther 0.75, classify them as carnivores. Four species Synodontis eupterus Boulenger; 4.4 S.schall (Bloch and Schneider) 4.8, Tilapia mariae Boulenger, 3.5, and T. tilli (Gervais), 4.7, are herbivores. Three intermediate ratio species B. longipinnis (Gunther), 1.3,Chrysichthys furcatus (Gunther) 1.6, and Clenopoma kingsleyae Gunther, 1.8, are omnivores. The body depth of seven of the species was measured and expressed as percentage of the standard length to ascertain the accommodative capacity of the fish for the gut. In addition a review of culture of snake head fish Parachanna obscura is presented.

    Description: Kainji Lake is a man-made Lake and is impounded in 1968 to generate hydroelectric power. The Lake also offers opportunities for developmental projects like Fisheries and Irrigation. Lake Kainji receives organic waste through husbandry operations in which the cattle defecate into and around the bank of the Lake. Other sources of pollution include runoff from farms, bathing and washings in the Lake. Surrounding villages e.g. Tarda and Musawa used the Lake as source of raw drinking water and also for other domestic purposes. Bacteriological quality of fish and water from the Lake is carried out as well as that of cow dung by using primary isolation media and biochemical analysis. Physico-chemical parameters of water from the Lake is also determined. Total viable bacteria count and total coliform count of the water range from 3.4 x 104 to 03.8x 106 Cfu/ml and 1.4 x 103to 2.1 x 105Cfu/ml respectively. Cow dung has total coliform count of 6.9 x 105 while fish gills has total coliform count of 1.6x103cfu/g. Bacteria species such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Aeromanas hydrophila, and shigella species were found in the water body. Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Salmonella species were found in the fish samples. Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, Shigella species and Salmonella species were isolated from cow dung. Physicochemical Parameters such as DO, BOD and N03-N range from 4. 7 to 5.2mg/l, 0.2 to 0.9mg/1 and 7.0 to 9.3 mg/l respectively. This result shows that Kainji Lake is an intermediately polluted water. It is therefore necessary that cow dung used for fertilization of fish ponds should be screened for pathogens before use. It is also recommended that pollution of surface water bodies through human activities should be discourage by legislation on water pollution.

    Description: Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) were experimented in Lake Kainji using worn out automobile lyres and cement blocks for a period of 12 weeks. Six tyres and blocks were tied together separately in 3 replicates and randomly suspended in the lake at a depth of 2 metre and 50 meter interval. After 8 weeks of suspension, a fleet of gillnets with 76mm mesh size and hung at E-value 0.5 were zigzag set across the suspended FADs for 12 fishing periods with 13 hrs soak time (~c1.0268.D.) per period The trial showed that the cement block FADs attracted more fish (70% of the total fish caught) belonging to 6 different species. The lyres FADs attracted only 3 species of fish constituting some 30% of the total fish caught Citharinus citharus dominated the catch of the block FADs constituting 52.3% of the total catch, while Oreochromis niloticus was 46.4% of the tyre FADs. The Horizontal Enhanced Fishing Zone (EFZ) was found to be between 5 to 12 metres from the location of the FADs. There was significant different (P〈0.05) in the catches of the two FADs.

    Description: This study was carried out by surveying all the water bodies of two states where Typha grass exists. Soil auger was used to take soil samples randomly from five different locations in both Kebbi and Katsina state at the depths of 0-5cm, 510cm, 10 15cm. Soil nutrient was analyzed for the mineral composition of the two States at different season and soil depths. The result showed that, soil depth between 5-10cm has the highest percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium during dry season. The nutrient composition of soil from the two states followed the same pattern during wet season.

    Description: Studies on the effects of two fishing baits on the catch composition of Malian Traps in Lake Kainji were monitored. The Traps were set at Monia fishing village in the southern basin of the Lake Baited with boiled yam (Dioscorea rotundata) and fresh palm fruit (Elaeis guineensis) and were inspected twice daily for seven weeks. The fishes caught comprised of nine (9) species belonging to four (4) families. The result of analysis of variance of the biomass as well as number and percentages of fishes caught in the traps by the baits showed there was no significant difference (P〉0.05). However, both baits showed better efficiency for Tilapia zilli, Oreochromis niloticus and Hemichromis fasciatus than other species caught but trap baited with fresh palm fruit had better efficiency for Distichodus restratus and Alestes nurse. There was wide range between the minimum and the maximum size of species caught, which showed the efficiency of the traps capturing small size, juveniles and the adult of large fish species due to small mesh size (1'') net cover of the trap. Recommendations were made for better performance and profitable fishing of Malian traps.

    Description: The implications of the abattoir effluents discharge into the Lower Ogun River in Isheri-Olofin area on the abundance of three African fresh water prawns: Macrobrachium vollenhovenii, M macrobrachion and M. felicinum were assessed. Monthly prawn collections were undertaken using a scooping bag net with 0.05mm mesh size at three stations with 100m intervals in each of Ishasi (upstream) and Isheri-Olofin (downstream) areas of the river for 24months (January, 2006-December, 2007). For the 24month period, the upstream (pooled data from stations 1,2 and 3) had M. vollenhovenii of total and mean density of 27,938.33 prawn/m2 and 1164.60prawn/m2 1131.04 respectively, while total and mean M. vollenhovenii density of 5,815.43prawn/m2 and 243.81 prawn/m2 231.45 were obtained in the downstream (pooled stations 4, Sand 6 data). T-test showed the entire upstream to have significantly higher M. vollenhovenii density than the entire downstream (p〈0.05). The entire upstream had higher M. macrobrachium total and monthly mean density (19,092prawn/m and 816.44prawn/m2 1,354.28) than the entire downstream (6,384.47prwn/m2 and 266.02m2524.94) (p〈0.05). Also, significantly higher total and monthly mean density of M felicinum were obtained upstream (20,9S6.S0prawn/m2 and 873.46prawn/m21615.06) than downstream (10,9668.11prawn/m2 and 461.16prawn/m2975.19) (p〈0.05). The significance of the decline in abundance of each of the three Macrobrachium prawn species in the downstream area was discussed.

    Description: Research was carried out to explore the fish species diversity and study some aspects of the biology of fish of Daberam reservoir, Katsina state, Nigeria, for a period of three month from March to May 2009. Samples were collected from commercial fishermen and experimental fishing gears, preserved in formalin and taken to laboratory for identification; confirmation was done by fisheries experts. Eight genus comprising ten species were identified. The regression coefficient (b) was 3.07, 2.91 and 3.21 for the three most commercially importance species in the reservoir i.e. Oreochromis niloticus, and Clarias gariepinus respectively which indicated Positive allometric growth for O. niloticus and C. gariepinus and negative allometric growth for T. nilotica. The mean condition factor (k) was 1.140, with values of 1.027and 0.732 for O. niloticus and C. gariepinus, respectively. This indicates that the fish are not leaving well compared to other freshwater fishes.
